279: Stuart Kerr – Rock Human Devices (PitchDeck Asia)
Podcast highlights:
02:40 Stuart talks about Rock Human Devices, a Singapore-based company building tough, well-designed medical devices - starting with hearing loss
22:10 What was Dyson really all about? Ultra-high performance first before aesthetics. Also, the backstory behind Dyson Supersonic hair dryer
37:35 Stuart says Rock Human Devices will eventually become a software company that has the hardware that the software runs on. Also, he talks about developing a prosthetic limb with machine learning

00:05 PIT - Stuart Kerr - Rock Human Devices - The Pitch
01:40 What is the point of The Pitch?
02:40 Stuart talks about Rock Human Devices, a Singapore-based company building tough, well-designed medical devices - starting with hearing loss
08:15 Stuart and Graham have a look at a functioning prototype of the hearing-aid glasses. How much does it cost to make one? Also, will the hearing-aid glasses be regulated and medically certified soon?
14:15 How did Stuart fund the making of the hearing-aid glass prototypes? What were the assumptions challenged when he did the trial with 25 people?
17:05 How light is the prototype? Also, why hasn't this been done already?
18:30 Stuart studied electronic engineering at Strathclyde and robotics in Japan, worked in Japan developing machines used in particle accelerators in CERN and SUPERKEKB, then worked for Singapore-based startup Pirate 3D in launching a 3D printer, then joined Dyson
22:10 What was Dyson really all about? Ultra-high performance first before aesthetics. Also, the backstory behind Dyson Supersonic hair dryer
27:35 Dyson develops core technology that solves very fundamental problems with how people interact with machines. So why wouldn't companies start with that thought - "this is the problem the customer has. What is the best way of solving it?"
33:00 When Stuart was prototyping the hearing aid glasses, how did he keep it lean? Did he consciously not go out and recruit or was he so busy doing the thing?
35:20 After receiving funding, what's next for Stuart and Rock Human Devices? What would be the value of that to another company? Can Rock Human Devices become the Dyson or Apple of the medical device world, or IPO?
37:35 Stuart says Rock Human Devices will eventually become a software company that has the hardware that the software runs on. Also, he talks about developing a prosthetic limb with machine learning
